Cringe Norwegians actually wanting to move to the USA.

It’s funny how US Americans think everyone wants to move here but with so many countries saying “Canada” and not “USA”, it’s pretty clear to me everyone knows the US sucks and is racist af; and while Canada might be much better at least folks know it’s more welcoming.

From my experience growing up in Canada and talking to foreigners, we’re not more welcoming or less racist but there are definitely less hate crimes and shootings

Right, maybe there’s the perception that Canada is more welcoming, while in fact that may not be reality?

And what’s up with Icelanders wanting to go to Denmark? I thought they kinda disliked Danes?

If the answers to the survey skew more educated, it might be that Canada is a much easier immigration target for people with degrees. There’s a long processing period, but if you have training in certain fields Canada gives an automatic permenant residency with a 5 year path to citizenship, the best you can do with the US is get an employer to sponsor a temporary visa, lol. I dont think we can seperate a much gentler immigration system from the responses. Honestly for people the points system applies to, they’d probably make double the wage in the US, and the employer would provide healthcare, but good luck finding an employer willing to sponsor a visa.

It’s also much harder to get a US visa. Especially as an Indian
